Appendix IV: New Regulations issued by GOI in 2014

In November 2012, the Indonesian House of Representatives, (DPR) passed Law 18/2012, known

colloquially as the new Food Law. Law 18/2012 replaces Law 7/1996 which was the former

overarching food law. The new Food Law regulates all food and food products, defined as all food

which originates from biological agricultural sources, to include agriculture, plantation, forestry,

fishery, livestock, waterworks and water, both processed and unprocessed intended as food and/or

beverages for human consumption, to include food additives, raw materials and other materials utilized

in the preparation, processing and/or production of food and/or beverages.

Law 18/2012 also states that the food supplies should always be sufficient, safe, high quality, diverse,

affordable, and may not conflict with religion, beliefs and culture. The GOI notes that Indonesia

requires Food System that will provide protections for producers, as well as consumer of food. The

GOI asserts that its Food System is designed to fulfill basic human necessities which provide fair, equal,

and sustainable benefits based on the concepts of Food Resilience, Self-Sufficiency and Food Security.

The food safety control system in Indonesia requires a broad range of pre-market and post-market

control. Pre-market controls are conducted by evaluating the food safety of products to ensure the

compliance with safety and quality requirements prior to retail. If a product meets the necessary

requirements, the product is provided with registration approval number and it becomes eligible for

retail market. Post-market control is conducted after food products have been distributed in the market

and/or retail outlets. The National Agency for Drug and Food Control (BPOM) maintains that it is

necessary for Indonesia to focus on the pre-market control due to the wide area of coverage and the

sheer geographical nature of Indonesia.

Food Safety requirements for food production or processing activities should be performed through food

sanitation, food additives regulation, genetically modified organism (GMO) and food irradiation

regulation, establishing food packaging standard, issuing food quality and safety guarantee, as well as

halal product guarantee for those required.

According to exporters, one of the most difficult issues they face is the requirements that all imported

packaged food products for retail must be registered through the BPOM. Additionally, some products

require additional approvals from other GOI regulatory agencies. For example, an import

recommendation from the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) is required in addition to an import permit

from the Ministry of Trade (MOT) after getting an approval from the BPOM for food products

containing animal and horticulture-based ingredients. Imports of meat, poultry, dairy and horticulture

products can be subject to shifting regulation and requirements. Food additives require approval from

the BPOM, and special labeling requirements may apply.

Supplementary labels must be in the Indonesian language and must be easily understood by consumers.

Mandatory information includes the product name, weight or volume in metric units, composition or a

list of ingredients, use by date, production code, the BPOM registration number, and the name and

address of the manufacturer or importer.

Nutritional labeling guidelines were issued in January 2005 and August 2007. The law requires the

industry to include nutritional content information on the label. Misleading information is forbidden

and breaches are subject to criminal prosecution. The Head of BPOM updated guidance on claim and

advertisement for processed food in 2011. Packaging must provide safety assurances from

contamination.

Protection of intellectual property is underdeveloped in Indonesia, but trademarks should be registered

to provide an element of protection. The process is not expensive but requires two years to complete.

However, once registered, trademarks remain valid indefinitely.

I. FOOD LAWS

Law 18/2012 provides comprehensive and broader aspect on food compared to previous one and

containing 17 chapters and 154 articles. An unofficial translation of the new Food Law can be viewed at

the following link.

According the GOI, the new Food Law is intended to provide a legal basis to regulate the following

activities: (1) food planning; (2) food availability; (3) food affordability; (4) nutrition and consumption;

(5) food safety; (6) food labeling and advertising; (7) control; (8) food information system; (9) food

research and development; (10) food institution; (11) public participation; and (12) enforcement.

Currently, the existing implementing regulations are still valid until new implementing regulations will

be issued in accordance with the Law.

One aspect of the Food Law is food importation. If the food supply sources are not sufficient, food can

be fulfilled through import according to the necessity (Article 14 point 2 and Article 36-40). The GOI

will establish food import policies and regulations that do not negatively impact the farming

sustainability, the increasing of production, the welfare of farmers/fishermen, fish farmers, and food

http://usdaindonesia.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DPR-FOOD-REGULATION-final.pdf

businesses. However, the GOI consistently prioritizes domestic food production over imports to meet

the demand.

Other significant legislation concerning food and agricultural imports include:

Act Number 12 of 1992 concerning Cultivation of Plants

Act Number 16 of 1992 concerning Animal, Fish, & Plant Quarantine

Act Number 23 of 1992 concerning Health

Act Number 9 of 1995 concerning Small Business

Act Number 20 of 1997 concerning Non-Tax Government Revenue

Act Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection

Animal Welfare

Government Regulation (PP) Number 6 of 2013 concerning Empowering Cattleman

Government Regulation (PP) Number 47 of 2014 concerning Control and Prevention of Animal

Disease

In addition to the Acts and Government Regulations listed above, there are various Presidential

Instructions, Ministerial Regulations, Ministerial Decisions and Departmental Determinations that

regulate food production, import, and distribution. The most relevant of these regulations are

attachmented.

Gradually, additional government regulations to implement the provisions have been released.

However, some of its provisions still have not been enacted or updated from the previous regulation.

Many of Indonesia’s regulations related to the marketing of food and food products are unclear and

confusing, not enforced, or are enforced on a cursory basis in a haphazard manner. While a review of

relevant regulations is important, the reality of what actually occurs in practice may be quite different.

Therefore, it is essential that exporters confer with local importers/agents to determine prevailing

requirements on imports.

II. FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATION

Any person producing food for distribution is prohibited from using any material as food additives

which are prohibited or which exceed the maximum threshold limit. The GOI shall further determine

the materials which are prohibited and or permitted in food production or processing activities, as well

as the maximum threshold limit.

MOH regulation No. 033/12 states that food additive production, importation and circulation require a

distribution license from the Head of the Indonesian National Agency for Food and Drug Control

(BPOM). There are 27 groups of food additives and each group has several types of food additives.

The list of permitted food additives can be obtained in attachment I and prohibited food additives list in

attachment II. The head of BPOM has released maximum limits of the use food additives in its

regulations No. 4 to 25/2013 and No. 36 to 38/2013. In addition, BPOM Regulation No. 4/2014 states

the type and maximum limit of sweetener.

Other regulations concerning food additives include the BPOM Decrees of 2008 and 2004, MOH

Regulation of 1999, and the Director General (DG) for the Control of Food and Medicine Regulation of

1991 and Decree of 1990.

A food additive product from an animal source must also have a certificate of conformity with Islamic

purity, "halal." That certificate is issued by the responsible authority in the country of origin.

III. PESTICIDE AND CONTAMINANTS

Maximum Residual Limits (MRL) of pesticides and other contaminants in food and fresh agricultural

products are generally regulated in the Food Law No. 18/2012 under the chapter pertaining to food

safety and quality. The implementation regulation for Food Law, with regard to toxic, MRL, prohibited

material for food production process, and appropriate material and process, still can use the following

regulations before the new implementing regulations are published:

PP No. 28/2004 on safety, quality, and nutrition of food products. The PP has mandated the

Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and the Ministry of Marine & Fishery Affairs (MOMF) to

arrange the guidance called “Good Fresh Food Production Practices”.

As a follow-up of PP No. 28/2004, the MOMF issued Ministerial Decree No. 02/2007 about

“Good Aquaculture Practices”. This decree emphasizes that the source of water being used in

fish rearing process must be free from the contamination of pesticide, pathogenic microbes,

hazardous chemicals, and heavy metal.

In line with the MOMF Decree No. 02/2007, the MOA Decree No. 88/2011 sets the maximum

http://usdaindonesia.org/?p=2264

http://jdih.pom.go.id/showpdf.php?u=810

residue limit of pesticide on imported as well as exported fresh food of plant origin such as

fruits, vegetables, cereal, and legumes. The MOA Decree No. 88/2011 has been effectively

enforced since March 19, 2012.

The MOA also issued Joint Decree No. 881/Menkes/SKB/VIII/1996, 711/Kpts/TP.270/8/96 with

the MOH that rules metal contamination and microscopic organism contamination. With regard

to pesticide residues, the joint decree states that:

The maximum allowable residue for products directly or indirectly consumed by humans

is as per the appended list.

Agricultural products circulated in Indonesia, whether locally produced or imported, are

not permitted to contain higher levels of pesticide than those in the list.

Agricultural products imported with greater than the allowed pesticide residue must be

rejected.

Tests for pesticide residue are to be conducted in a laboratory appointed by the MOH or

the MOA.

The MOH and the MOA will monitor and enforce the joint decree according to their

tasks and functions.

The list appended to the joint decree includes 218 pesticides and a number of potentially

contaminated agricultural products for each pesticide. There is no provision for use of

alternative standards, for example Codex for pesticides not listed.

The National Standard Agency (BSN) issued the SNI 01-6366-2000 concerning Maximum

Residue Level for Microbe and Chemical content for animal based food

The BSN issued the SNI 7313:2008 concerning Maximum Residue Level of pesticide for

agriculture products. This SNI regulates MRL for 196 type of pesticide.

IV. PACKAGING AND CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS

Food packaging is the material used to contain and/or pack food, whether directly touching the food or

not. Any person producing food to be circulated is prohibited from using any material as food package

which is declared prohibited and or which may release contaminants that harmful or endangered human

health.

The BPOM Regulation No. HK.03.1.23.07.11.6664 year 2011 lists the materials permitted or prohibited

for food package includes active food package, smart food package, adhesive, ceramic, Styrofoam,

rubber and elastomer, glass, ion exchange resin, metal and metal alloys, paper and cardboard, plastic,

regenerated cellulose, silicon, fabric, wax, wood, polisher and coating. The Minister of Industry (MOI)

issued a regulation on February 12, 2010 requires all food packages must put the logo and recycle code

on the package.

There are no industry regulations or practices applicable to package size. The metric system must used

for weights and measures. The GOI issued a government regulation No 18/2012 that manages domestic

waste. Producer is required to use biodegradable packaging with less waste as possible, use raw

material that can be recycled; and withdraw the waste of the product and its packaging.

V. LABELING REQUIREMENTS

In the new Food Law, food label provisions are found under Chapter VIII, Articles 96 - 103 and

advertisement provision are under Article 104 - 107. Formerly, the GOI Regulation No 69/1999 has

been released as a guideline to implement the food label and advertisement rule. The BPOM Regulation

No. HK 03.1.23.11.11.09909 of 2011 regulates processed food claims and advertisements, and the

BPOM Regulation No. HK 03.1.5.12.11.09955 of 2011 regulates labeling requirements for processed

food products.

A. General Requirements

Food labels contain any information concerning food in the form of a picture, writing, a combination of

both, or another form accompanying the food, which is putting in, affixed to or constituting part of the

food packing. Any person producing or importing food which is packed for sale (not packed for the

food service or institutional sectors) into the territory of Indonesia is obligated to place a label on,

within and or at the packing of the food.

The supplementary label shall be done in such away so as to not easily come off, fade or be damaged,

and shall be placed in a visible and readable position of packages. As of January 2013, the

supplementary label should be affixed prior to customs clearance (before arriving at the Indonesian

territory). Statements or claims on the benefit of the food product shall only be included if they are

supported by scientific facts which can be accounted for.

The label at least contains information concerning:

a. The name of the product;

b. Net weight or net contents;

c. Name and address of the party which produces or imports the food into the territory of

Indonesia,

d. Registration Number

e. The list of material used;

f. The expiry date, month and year (except for beverage with alcohol content >10%, vinegar,

sucrose and bread/cake with shelf life <24 hours)

g. Date and or production code

In addition to the information above, the GOI may determine other information which may or may not

be mentioned on food labels. The information on the labels shall be written or printed in the Indonesian

language, Arabic numeric and Roman text. The use of foreign terms may be conducted as long as there

is no Bahasa equivalent. To enforce the Law, the BPOM issued a circular letter on September 1, 2010

to Indonesian food importers and distributors mandating the use of the Indonesian language on the

labels of all packaged food products imported for retail purposes.

In order to support the truth of the “halal” statement, anybody producing or importing packed food into

the territory of Indonesia for trading shall have the said food first examined by accredited inspection

agencies pursuant to the laws enforce.

The use of backgrounds, in the form of picture and colors and other decoration, which can obscure the

writing in the main part of label, is prohibited.

The U.S. labeling standard does not consider false or misleading but it is different with Indonesian

standard label. For example, Indonesia maintains its own Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) or Maximum

Tolerable Daily Intake (MTDI) that was designed for Indonesian consumer. However, the standard

U.S. nutritional fact panel format is acceptable.

B. Requirements for Other Specific Labeling Requirements

In addition to the labeling criteria outlined above, the food label must stating about nutrient fact, food

irradiation, organic food, the GMO, food made from natural raw material, preparation instruction,

storage instruction, serving suggestion, intended for, as well as the warning.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Labels for alcoholic beverages must states:

“MINUMAN BERALKOHOL” (alcoholic beverage),

DIBAWAH UMUR 21 TAHUN ATAU WANITA HAMIL DILARANG MINUM (prohibited

Alcohol content

BABY FOODS (less than 12 months old) On baby food label, should have the phrase “breast milk is the best food for your baby” or a similar

sentence, stating superiority of nursing/breast feeding. Sources of protein must be stated clearly.

However, the nutrition claim or health claim is prohibited.

BIOTECHNOLOGY A GOI Regulation published in 2012 requires ”PANGAN PRODUK REKAYASA GENETIKA”

(genetically modified food product) wording to be stated in labels of food derived from genetically

engineered products to include potato, corn, soybean, and tomato. However, product derivatives which

have undergone further refining processes to the point where the GM material cannot be identified (to

include but not limited to oils, fats, sucrose, and starch) do not need a non-GMO statement.

In addition, the GOI requires labeling only for food products containing more than 5 percent content

derived from genetically engineered processes.

PROCESSED FOOD CONTAINING FOOD ADDITIVE In addition to the main label content, labels of foods containing additives shall contain the following

matters: the food additives wording; names of groups of food additives (antioxidant, artificial

sweetener, preservative, food color, enhancer); and names of food additives and food additive

registration number. Carryover food additives must be written after the name of food additives.

In addition to that, the artificial sweetener information on the label includes:

A statement” containing artificial sweetener” and any information if it should not be consumed

by children, pregnant women, and breast feeding mothers; “for people with diabetes and/or

people who require a low- calorie diet”; if using aspartame should be written “contain fenilalanin

and not suitable for fenilketonurik patient and not suitable for material heated”; if using poliol,

producers should note “excessive consumption has a laxative effect”.

Weight mg/kg and the sugar equivalence

Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI)

Food color information should include:

Color Index (Cl)

Word” PEWARNA PANGAN” (food coloring) or “PEWARNA MAKANAN” (food coloring)

in a green box and written with green capital letter.

M logo in black circle

The BPOM Regulation in 2007 stated that it is not allowed to put information of free of food additive in

food label and advertisement. Food additive includes anti oxidant, anti-caking agent, acidity regulator,

artificial sweetener, bleaching, emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, firming agent, preservative, color, flavor

and flavor enhancer, and sequestrant. The prohibited statement includes the word “free”, “without”,

“not content”, or other similar words.

The BPOM once again re-enforced the regulation by issuing circular letter February 29, 2008. The

statement “free from food additive” may not allow appearing on the label for product distributed after

October 1, 2008.

FOOD CONTENT ALERGEN Material that may cause allergic should be informed, includes cereal containing gluten (wheat, barley,

oats, spelt), shellfish and its processed products, egg and its processed products, fish and its processed

products, peanut, soybean and its processed products, milk and its processed products to include lactose,

tree nut and its processed products, and sulfite (>100 ppm).

FOOD CONTENT PORK On products derived from swine: the words "MENGANDUNG BABI" (contain pork) should be written

in red and enclosed in a red rectangle together with a drawing of a pig in white background.

Some food products that may originate from pork include: gelatin, enzymes, fat, collagen, colostrums,

blood extracts, hydrolyzed hemoglobin, keratin hair extracts, placenta, protein, thymus extracts, thymus

hydrolisate, stomach extracts, ingredient (stearic acid, palmitic acid, glycerol) oils, kidney extracts,

shortening, thickeners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, l-cystein, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides,

nisin.

FOOD IRRADIATION Irradiated packaged food must carry the words "PANGAN IRADIASI" (irradiated food), the reason for

irradiation and this logo.

Also required are the name and address of the radiation facility, the month and year of the irradiation,

and the country in which the process was carried out. If the food cannot be re-irradiated, then the label

should include the word: “TIDAK BOLEH DIRADIASI ULANG” (not to be re-irradiated).

FOOD MADE FROM NATURAL RAW MATERIALS Labeling for foods made from natural raw materials can include information that the food derived from

the natural ingredients if the relevant natural raw materials content is not less than the minimum content

set forth in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).

ORGANIC Processed foods that meet the organic processed foods requirements may use the words organic and

Indonesia’s organic logo on their labels as below. Foreign organic logos can be placed next to the

Indonesian logo.

HEALTH MESSAGES, SUGAR, SALT AND FAT CONTENT INFORMATION IN

PROCESSED FOOD AND FAST FOOD The Ministry of Health (MOH) issued regulation No. 30/2013, requiring producers of processed foods

for commerce to provide sugar, salt, and fat content information and a health message on the label. The

rule will be regulated by a Ministerial Regulation.

Health messages in the label should read “consuming more than 50 grams of sugar, 2,000 milligrams of

Sodium, or 67 grams of fat per person per day increase the risk of hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and

heart attack”.

This regulation will be implemented in April 16, 2016.

VI. OTHER SPECIFIC STANDARDS

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (BEER, WINE, SPIRIT) There are three categories of alcoholic beverages: ‘Category A’ containing zero to five percent alcohol;

‘Category B’ containing greater than 5 percent and less than 20 percent alcohol; and ‘Category C”

containing 21 - 55 percent alcohol.

Per January 2010, the MOT regulation allowed registered importers of alcoholic beverages to import

duty-paid alcoholic beverage products. Previously, duty-paid and duty-free alcoholic beverages were

imported only through a state owned company, as was directed by the MOT. The regulation states that

the companies that import duty paid alcoholic beverages must apply for an imported-alcoholic

beverages permit (IT-MB) through the DG of Foreign Trade.

The main requirement for the IT-MB application is that an assignment letter authorized in the country of

origin Public Notary and an Indonesian Commercial Attaché at the Embassy in Washington or one of

the consulates. The application must indicate 20 foreign brands/manufacturers from at least 5 countries

and be able to purchase minimum 3,000 carton /brand/year and also have distributor at least in six

provinces (MOT Regulation No. 53/2010, which was replaced by MOT Regulation 20/2014). The IT-

MB is valid for three years and can be extended.

The type and amount of the imported alcoholic beverage products allocated to fulfill national demand is

determined by the MOT and issued in April 1 annually. The ports of entry for imported duty paid

alcoholic beverages include the Belawan sea port, Medan; Tanjung Priok sea port, Jakarta; Tanjung

Emas sea port, Semarang; Tanjung Perak sea port, Surabaya; Bitung sea port, Manado; and Soekarno

Hatta sea port, Makassar. They can also enter via all Indonesian international airports.

Distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages category B and C is under the GOI control. Direct sales are

only allowed for duty paid alcoholic beverages, including categories A, B, and C, for on-site

consumption at hotels, restaurants, bars, pubs and night clubs. Duty free shops are allowed to sell duty

free alcoholic beverages, including categories A, B, and C in certain locations. Category A alcoholic

beverage sales are allowed in minimarkets, supermarkets, hypermarkets and other retailer shops

The direct selling and/or retail of alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverage products to people under

the age of 21 year are prohibited in Indonesia.

On December 31, 2013 the Ministry of Finance (MOF) issued regulation No. 207/2013 to replace MOF

regulation No. 62/2010. The regulation imposed a new excise tax on ethyl alcohol, beverages, and

concentrates containing ethyl alcohol.

The regulation was implemented on January 1, 2014. The new tax is described in Table 1.

On April 7, 2010, the MOF issued the regulation No. 82/PMK.011/2010, which imposed new import

duties on alcoholic beverages containing ethyl alcohol. This regulation effectively changed the tariff

from an ad valorem tariff to a specific tariff.

GMO The PP No. 28/2004 stated that foods contain the GMO shall have to be tested prior to distribution.

The BPOM Regulation No. HK.03.1.23.03.12.1563/2012 on the Guidelines of Food Safety Assessment

for Genetically Engineered Products pointed out the assessment that should be conducted by the

Commission of Biosafety for Genetically Engineered Product to include:

genetic information; includes general description, host description

donor organism

genetic modification description

genetic modification characteristics

food safety information, includes substantial equivalence, changes in nutritional value,

allergenicity, and toxicity.

HALAL CERTIFICATE

Islamic purity or “halal” is important to a large portion of the Indonesian population. Indonesia requires

that imported animal based food products, except pork, be accompanied by a halal certificate issued by

an approved halal certifying body in the United States.

The Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) released the list of approved halal certifying bodies which

includes:

halal for cattle slaughtering;

halal for the processing industry;

halal for flavorings.

Halal for poultry slaughtering

Per December 2012, the approved halal certifier bodies in the United States are as follows:

PRODUCT SHELF LIFE To comply with the MOH decree concerning expired food, the BPOM issued circular letters No.

0018/BB/EM/4.4/IV/90 and No. 0026/BB/EM/4.4/V/90 (implemented on August 1990) that outline the

expiry dates of imported package food products as follow:

Table 4. Indonesia: Shelf Life and the Expiry Dates of Products Arrive in Indonesian Port

Product shelf life Arrival at the destination port must be:

>= 2 years 1.5 years before the expiry date

1 year 8 months before the expiry date

6 months 4 months before the expiry date

3 months 2 months before the expiry date

PROCESSED ORGANIC FOOD Organic processed food shall include food from organic fresh food processed by a specific method, with

or without permitted food additives.

On May 2013, Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) issued regulation No. 64 on organic agriculture system.

The regulation will be implemented one year from the date it of its legislation.

Based on MOA regulation 64, imported organic food must be accompanied by:

Transaction certificate issued by the Organic Certification Institute (LSO) that has been certified

by National Accreditation Committee (KAN) whether it is a domestic LSO or foreign LSO

domicile in Indonesia. The LSO must perform certification of the business unit in the country of

origin.

A health certificate or certificate of sale issued by an authorized institution in the country of

origin.

The 2008 BPOM regulation stated that organic fresh foods must contain at least 95% organic fresh food

from the total volume or weight, excluding water and salt content. Water and salt content are water and

salt added at the time of processing. Food additives and other materials permitted in organic processed

foods are attached to the regulation. Raw materials, food additives, other materials and organic

processed foods shall not be treated with irradiation and not be derived from genetically engineered

products.

OTHERS Milk products have special regulations

Baby food has special regulations

Animal quarantine regulations for live animals and semen vary and should be consulted before

exporting live animals to Indonesia

VII. FACILITY AND PRODUCT REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Any processed food either produced domestically or imported into Indonesian territories for trade in

retail packaging shall obtain the registration approval letter prior to distribution. The objective is to

protect consumers from products which do not comply with the current regulations related to safety,

quality, nutrition, and labeling.

Procedure for registration refers to the BPOM Decree No. HK 03.1.5.12.11.09955 of 2011, No.

HK.03.1.5.12.11.09956 of 2011, No. 42/2013, and No. 43/2013 on processed food registration. It is the

implementation regulation for the GOI Regulation No 28/2004. BPOM Regulation No. 1/2013 stated

that per March 11, 2013, products should be registered through on-line registration process (e-

registration).

Law and regulations related to food product registration:

Law No. 23 of 1992 on Health

Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection

Law No. 18 of 2012 on Food

Government Regulation (PP) No. 69 of 1999 on Food Labeling and Advertising

Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2004 on Food Safety, Quality and Nutrition

Processed food exempted from the obligation to possess a registration approval letter shall be the food

products produced by home industry, food that has maximum 7 days shelf life in a room temperature

and/or imported into Indonesian territories in small quantities for the purpose of requesting the

registration approval letter, scientific research, self-consumption, and further uses as raw material and

indirectly sold to end consumer. While the regulation indicates that small quantities for personal

consumption do not require registration, Customs officials decide the quantity permissible; thus, even

small quantities can be seized and subjected to the approval procedures.

In March 2008, the BPOM released a regulation which states that all imported processed food, food raw

materials, food additives, processing aids, food ingredients, and others must obtain entry permit (SKI)

from the Head of BPOM for every shipment. This regulation re-enforces the registration of imported

food for retail purpose.

The registration process should be conducted by a local agent or importer. Typically, it takes longer

than the officially reported time frame and costs more than the published rate. Detailed requirements

from the food manufacture/supplier and product samples are needed for the registration process, which

can be sent to the local agent or importer.

PRODUCT REGISTRATION

Registration Procedure There are two kinds of registration assessments:

1. General Service: the assessment of medium and high-risk food products and food additives

TESTING Based on the PP No. 28 of 2004, the examination in the laboratory shall be carried out in the

government laboratories or any laboratories accredited by the National Accreditation Committee or any

Accreditation Institutions acknowledged by the National Accreditation Committee. BPOM is

authorized to determine the types of processed food that should be examined prior to distribution.

CERTIFICATION List of the import documents required can be found in FAIRS Export Certificate Report.

VIII. OTHER CERTIFICATION AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Importers of processed food products must obtain an import permit before product is shipped to

Indonesia. There are three ministries responsible for issuing the permit:

1. Certain processed horticulture products covered under MOA regulation No. 86/2013

Importers of certain processed horticultural products (to include items such as jams, fruit juices,

and french fries) must obtain a recommendation letter from BPOM before they can apply for an

import recommendation (RIPH) to the Director General of Processing and Marketing of

Agricultural Products (P2HP) of the MOA. Food processors and manufacturers must receive a

technical recommendation from the MOI as a prerequisite to obtaining a RIPH. The RIPH should

then be submitted to the Ministry of Trade (MOT) to get the import permit (SPI). However,

imported fresh horticultural products only need a RIPH form MOA and SPI from MOT. The

validity of the SPI is 6 months/per semester.

Every shipment of processed horticulture products need an entry permit issued by BPOM (SKI)

and the products in retail packaging must have an ML number.

2. Certain animal based processed food products (exclude dairy) covered under MOA regulation No.

84/2013

The DG for Livestock and Animal Health Service (DGLAHS) of the MOA is responsible for

issuing a letter of recommendation (RTK) before the importer obtains the import permit (SPI)

from the MOT. Before applying for the RTK, the importer must get a recommendation from the

Head of BPOM. Imported raw meat only needs an RTK form MOA and an SPI from MOT. The

validity of the SPI is 3 months/quarterly.

Every shipment of processed horticultural product needs an entry permit issued by BPOM (SKI)

and the products in retail packaging must have an ML number.

3. Remaining processed food products

An entry permit (SKI) from BPOM is the only permit needed for the remaining processed food

products, food as raw material, and food additives (see explanation about SKI under ‘OTHER

REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS’ Section).

New MOA Regulation No 65/2014 requires that the importation of processed consumable product of

animal origin material (HBAH) to include processed meat, dairy products, and processed eggs must be

accompanied with a sanitation certificate and Halal certificate.

Label on package must use Indonesian language and contain information required in the regulations.

In addition to that, the MOT Regulation No. 83/2012 that amended by MOT regulations No. 61/2013

and 36/2014 required the importation of agriculture products for 215 HS Code should be conducted by

registered importer (IT).

Import documents may be prepared in English, but the level of comprehension by officials is limited.

As an example, Customs would not accept the term "cartage" on an invoice as meaning a freight charge

because "cartage" is not in the most widely used English Indonesian dictionary.

Documents should be concise, with simple language, and complete. If all documentation is complete,

customs clearance can be finished as early as two days (green line) and 5-7 days (red line and yellow

line). Incomplete documentation could result in delays of several weeks.

Standard documents, such as invoices, regularly used in the domestic market, may not be suitable for

imports. Custom will use a “check price” based to set the import duty. There is no clear information on

how the Custom set that check price.

A determination by the GOI official can be appealed. However, the official's determination would

invariably be couched in terms of the current legislation and hence would be unlikely to be over-ruled.

Indonesian Courts give judgments on the basis of perceived justice, and are not strictly bound by

precedent. Hence decisions have a degree of inconsistency and unpredictability.

ENTRY PERMIT (SKI) BPOM issued regulations No. 27/2013 and 28/2013 on controlling imported food and food ingredients

to revise former regulations issued in 2008, 2009, and 2011. The regulations require importers to obtain

an entry permit (SKI) in order to release the products at customs for each shipment. The imported must

have at least 2/3 shelf life remaining at time of export.

To obtain the permit, an importer must provide data and documents of the following:

1. Application letter for raw material, food additive, food product import:

DAIRY PRODUCTS On June 4, 2009, Indonesia announced Livestock and Animal Health Law 18/2009, requiring foreign

companies that export animal derived products, including dairy products and eggs to Indonesia, to

prelist their establishments with the MOA.

In order to get an import permit, the DG for Livestock and Animal Health Service (DGLAHS) of the

MOA requires any dairy establishment wishing to export dairy products to Indonesia to submit a

fulfilled questionnaire form. The DGLAHS officials will then do a desk review of the questionnaire and

put the name of the establishment into a prelisting. Once the establishment’s name is on the list, the

importer can proceed with the procedure to obtain an import permit. It is important that the importer

verify the eligibility of their supplier’s establishments.

As of April 2014, there are 83 U.S. dairy establishments approved by the MOA for export to Indonesia.

Dairy establishments wishing to export to Indonesia should work with an importer to apply for

establishment approval with Post assistance.

The Law 18 also stipulates that these dairy products will require halal certification by a U.S. based

Islamic center, approved by the MUI.

In addition to that, the MOT regulation No. 46/2013 on Import and Export of Animal and Animal

Products stated that imports of animal products, such as NFDM and whole milk powder, can only be

performed by a company that has obtained an import permit from the Ministry of Trade. The import

permit will only be issued after the importer obtains a recommendation. The import permit application

must be accompanied by a recommendation from the Head of the Agency of Drug and Food Control

(BPOM) and a recommendation from the Minister of Agriculture. An import permit is valid for six

months commencing from the date of issuance of the import permit. The MOA will no longer issue

volume allocations. However, the MOT will determine import volumes through Import Permit (SPI).

In the case where there is a risk of the spread of zoonotic disease from the exporting country, the

Ministry of Agriculture will issue a decree prohibiting animal product imports. Previously issued

import permit will be declared invalid, (as per the decree).

For imports of dairy products from the United States, a Free Sale Certificate or Health Certificate from

the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Agriculture Marketing Service (AMS) must be provided to

the Indonesian dairy importer in order to obtain the BPOM recommendation.

FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Trade have revised the import policy for

horticultural products through MOA Regulation No. 86/2013 and MOT Regulations No. 16 & 47/2013.

Key changes include the stipulation that registered importers of horticultural products must import 80%

of the total allocation within a six month period. Chili and shallot imports will be subject to a reference

price system.

The explanation on how to import horticulture products is found on section VIII. 1. above. The MOA

will no longer issue volume allocations. However, the MOT will determine import volumes through

Import Permit (SPI) and the importer must import minimum 80% of import permit allocation per

semester. The regulation also stated that imports of horticultures products can only be conducted by

registered importer of horticulture products (IT).

The required documents for obtaining and RIPH for fresh horticulture products, as stated in the

technical requirements, include good agricultural practices (GAP) certificate or farm registration, and

packing house registration. All documents must be translated to Indonesian language.

The recognition of the U.S. Food Safety System of Plant Origin (FFPO/PSAT) The GOI has recognized the United States’ Food Safety Control System for the FFPO. The Head of the

Indonesian Agricultural Quarantine Agency (IAQA) issued the recognition of the U.S. FFPO through a

MOA decree. The IAQA granted its recognition to the United States after reviewing the U.S.

application documents, followed by onsite verification conducted in the United States by the IAQA

team in late October 2009 and early July 2012. The recognition is valid until end of December 2014.

Based on this recognition all imported products listed in the MOA Regulation No 88/2011 are able to

enter Tanjung Priok port of Jakarta (the MOA Regulation No. 42/2012).

Phytosanitary Certificate and Destination Port On June 13, 2012 the MOA issued a regulation No. 42/2012 that replaced the MOA Regulation No.

37/Kpts/HK.060/1/2006 on plant quarantine measure for the importation of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The purpose of this rule is to ensure that imported fresh fruit and vegetables are free from fruit flies. A

plant phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin or country of transit and entry through the

specified four ports is mandatory.

Importation of fresh fruit and vegetables originating from pest free producing areas must be declared in

the Additional Declaration section of the plant phytosanitary certificate that accompany the shipment.

Importation from non pest-free producing area must be treated with one of the following treatments:

cold treatment with temperature appropriate for fresh fruit and vegetables and for the prevention of the

appropriate pest; fumigation; Vapour Heat Treatment (VHT); or irradiation. The treatment must be

declared in the treatment column of the phytosanitary certificate. Similar to the provision in the MOA

Regulation No. 42/2012, imported fresh bulb is regulated by the MOA Regulation No. 43/2012.

In December 2006, the Head of IAQA released decree No. 348/Kpts/PD.540.220/12/06 to establish

California as a free area for Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) in the United Sates on table

grape.

Prior Notice A prior notice for importation of fresh fruit and vegetables that indicates the date & place of loading,

date & place of arrival/destination, type of transportation, name of product, the amount of product

imported, country of origin, distribution area and import purpose should be submitted online by the

exporter in the country of origin to Plant Quarantine officer prior to the loading of the goods in the

country of origin. This is clearly informed in the MOA Regulation No. 88/2011.

Pre shipment inspection The GOI’s latest regulations (MOT Regulation No 16/2013) still require pre shipment inspection for

imported horticultural products in the country of origin. The items information at following will be

stated in the surveyor report and deliver it to MOT: port of loading in the country of origin, HS Code ,

type and volume, date of shipment, port of destination, tara food and recycle logo in the packaging,

health certificate, phytosanitary certificate for fresh horticulture products, certificate of origin, food

grade packaging certificate or statement letter from importer states that the fresh horticulture product

packaging comply with provision in the regulation, tara food and recycle packaging certificate or

statement letter from importer states that packaging comply with provision in the regulation, and the

conformance of the label to the provision.

To proceed, the following sequence of action should occur:

After getting license concern, the importer should apply to the Kerjasama Operasi Sucofindo –

Surveyor Indonesia (KSO SCISI, Joint operation Sucofindo-Surveyor Indonesia, the State

owned surveyors assigned by the MOT) for import verification by filling out on-line Verification

Request (VR) and pay a down payment in advance for the inspection fee.

The importer will get a Verification Order number (VO No), this VO will deliver electronically

to counterpart surveyor in the country of origin (such as Société Generale de

Surveillance/SGS).

The same day of the receiving the VO, the SGS will send a Request For Information (RFI) to

exporter, cc to importer. The SGS needs the location and date proposed by exporter for

inspection.

After the SGS agreed (may be some negotiation in timing) the inspector will come for inspection

and asking for the documents concern for verification.

The result of inspection (Physical Inspection Result – PIR) will be sent to the KSO SCISI for

issuing Surveyor Report (LS, Laporan Surveyor). The validity of PIR is 30 calendar days since

PIR is issued to the date of shipment based on BL/AWB.

The LS is mandatory document to release the goods from the Customs.

MEAT AND POULTRY PRODUCTS Indonesia’s ministries of agriculture and trade released new regulations on the import of meat and meat

products in late August/early September, 2013, MOA No. 84/2013 and MOT No. 47/2013. Changes

include the creation of a reference price system, which calls for meat imports when local retail prices

rise above a set level.

The explanation on how to import meat and poultry is found on section IX. 2 above. Importers must

indicate the product being imported, market destination (restaurant, hotel, catering, industry, etc.) in

their RTK application. Applications can be made in December, March, June, and September for second,

third and fourth quarter permits, respectively.

MOA no longer issues volume allocations. However, MOT will determine import volumes through the

SPI process and the importer must import minimum 80% of import permit allocation per year.

Certificates of health from exporting countries must indicate the SPI Number.

Only approved meat and poultry establishments are allowed to export the products to Indonesia. There

are 17 U.S. beef establishments and 6 pork establishments approved by the MOA.

As of January 2014, the MOA has not issued import recommendations for poultry products to include

duck and turkey meat. DGLAHS continues to block these products on the basis of MOA Regulation

No. 84/2013 which requires that all poultry facilities in exporting countries to be dedicated for halal

slaughter regardless of whether those facilities export to Indonesia. In addition, MOA Regulation No.

110/2014 requires all poultry establishments do the slaughtering manually. This technical barrier is

purely intended to support Indonesia’s long-standing poultry import ban.

Quarantine will carry out the physical and document examination as well as the laboratory test for the

products when entering the port. All standard level for laboratory test set in the SNI.

On June 17, 2013, MOA issued a decree No. 4390/2013 to lift the ban due to BSE case which was

imposed against U.S. MBM, bone-in beef, bone-derived gelatin, and offals on April 26, 2012.

PET FOOD Indonesia does not have specific rules for pet food imports, and as such they fall under the various

regulations for other animal products. As an animal based food, the production facility must be

approved by Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Service at the MOA before an

importer applies for an import recommendation.

According to Indonesian regulations, the importer must submit the following documents for the import

recommendation:

A Certificate of Processing: an attestation made by the exporter that the product was

manufactured under a HACCP system and that the sanitary SOPs and or HACCP program is

authorized by a relevant organization

A Certificate of Origin

A Certificate of Analysis

A Veterinary Health certificate

RICE MOT Regulation No. 19/M-DAG/PER/3/2014 and MOA Regulation No. 51/Permentan/HK.310/4/

2014 place additional controls on rice imports.

Only BULOG (government supply agency) is permitted to import broken rice (up to 25 percent) for the

purpose of price stabilization, emergency relief, poor people, and food security. Imports can only be

performed beyond the period of 1 month prior to harvest; harvest season, and 2 (two) months after

harvest.

Imports of rice are permitted when required as raw material for industry. This is only permitted when

the rice cannot be produced domestically. Imports are limited to 100 percent broken rice, 100 percent

broken glutinous rice, and maximum 5 percent broken japonica rice. Imports are limited to private

importers possessing “Producer Importer of Rice Recognition” (IP – Beras, Importir Produsen - Beras),

issued by MOT. IP validity is six months, or until December 31, whichever is first. Imports require the

Producer Importer of Rice to obtain import approval from MOT. In order to receive import approval

from MOT, the Producer Importer of Rice must obtain an import recommendation from the Minister of

Industry or a Ministry of Industry designated official. Imported rice can only be used as raw material

for food manufacturing and cannot be sold to other parties.

Imports of rice for dietary purposes and for specialty purposes are permitted. This includes imports of

glutinous rice, maximum five percent broken Thai Hom Mali rice, parboiled rice, and maximum five

percent broken japonica rice. Imports are limited to private importers possessing “Registered Importer

of Rice recognition” (IT – Beras, Importir Terdaftar - Beras), issued by MOT. IT recognition is valid

for two years. In order to receive import approval from MOT, the Registered Importer of Rice must

obtain an import recommendation from the Minister of Agriculture or a Ministry of Agriculture

designated official. The imported rice can be sold to other parties.

IT holders are required to obtain import approval from MOT. Import approval will be valid for three

months, or until December 31, whichever is first. In order to obtain import recommendations from the

Ministries of Agriculture and Trade, the importer must provide a “Varietal Purity Attestation.” This

attestation must be verified and endorsed by a government official in the country of origin. Indonesia’s

Ministry of Agriculture confirmed to Post that the Varietal Purity Attestation will be made by the

supplier and certified by a U.S. notary public. One attestation may be used to obtain multiple import

recommendations from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Additionally, imported rice must be packaged and labelled in Bahasa Indonesia prior to arrival in

Indonesia. Packaging in direct contact with food must use food grade material according to provisions

of the regulating legislation in Indonesia. Packaging that uses plastic is required to include Food Grade

logo and Recycling Code according to provisions of the regulating legislation in Indonesia. Fulfillment

of packaging requirements must be proven by:

a. Certificate of test result issued by competent testing laboratory and recognized by the local

government; or

b. Letter of statement from importer stating that the packaging used is in accordance with

provisions of the regulating legislation in Indonesia by including Food Grade Logo and

Recycling Code on the packaging.

For Thai Hom Mali, Basmati, Japonica, and Steam Rice, a maximum of 10 kg bag packaging is

required.

SEEDS Indonesian seed import procedures are mainly regulated based on the MOA Regulation No. 37/2006 and

38/2006 issued on August 31, 2006. Following is the summary of the regulations:

MOA Regulation No. 37/2006 stated that every seed variety proposed to be released in Indonesia must

undergo an adaptation test for seasonal crops or observation test for annual crops. Before conducting

the test, the requestor must report to the National Seed Agency (BBN), which evaluates tests and reports

the results to the MOA. After completing the test, the license from the variety holder must be attached

to the introductory varieties, the parent seed description must be attached to the hybrid varieties, and the

GMO must meet bio-security requirements. Every introductory hybrid variety must document that the

seed can be produced in Indonesia, and must attach a guarantee letter from the seed release requestor

containing a statement that the F1 hybrid seed will be produced in Indonesia within two years after the

date of the release. A released variety will be published in a Minister Decision letter on variety release

Meanwhile the MOA Regulation No. 38/2006 covers import and export licenses. To acquire the import

license for non-research purposes, a person, a legal entity or a government institution must meet the

following requirement:

The variety must exhibit potential quality, uniqueness, and specific uses.

The amount of seed is limited only to adjust with the seed release preparation.

The seed has already been released in the Indonesian market but are not sufficient to meet

domestic demand or the propagation cannot be conducted in Indonesia.

Must comply with the plant quarantine law.

The import license for non-research purposes will be issued by the Director General of each crop

(Horticulture, Food Crops, and Estate). The import license can be used for:

variety release preparation

F1 seed procurement

plant observer needs

export objective needs

Imports of transgenic seeds for non-research purposes must pass bio security and food security tests.

The Head of the Agricultural Research and Development Agency and the Director General of each crop

who will issue the import license will coordinate with the Head of Agricultural Quarantine Agency.

In addition to this regulation, the Decision of the Head of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency

No. 152/Kpts/PD.540/L/8/2003 stated that the import of seed must:

be accompanied with a Phytosanitary from the country of origin and transit country.

through the determined entrance point.

be reported and delivered to Plant Quarantine Officials at the entrance point for

quarantine treatments.

be accompanied with Import License form the Min. of Ag or appointed officials.

Quarantine officials will ask for the original copies of the phyto and import license, copies of

invoice, packing list and airway bill or bill of lading.

Although no Indonesian quarantine laboratory has been accredited by the International Seed Testing

Association (ISTA), the Ministry refers to the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures from

the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) for quarantine inspections and

actions.

SUGAR Government of Indonesia (GOI) sugar policy divides the domestic sugar market into three categories:

plantation white sugar for home consumption, raw sugar for domestic sugar refining, and refined sugar

for the local food and beverage industry.

As a regulated commodity, white sugar can only be imported by registered importers. Registered

importers must also be sugar producers and are required to produce at least 75 percent of their white

sugar from Indonesian-grown sugarcane. Raw sugar can only be imported by processors that will use it

for their own refining, while refined sugar may be imported by food processors for their own

production. Also, whenever it deems necessary, the GOI can grant sugar mills permission to import raw

sugar for white sugar production, provided that it is used to meet any idle capacity due to domestic cane

production shortfalls.

The former Ministry of Industry and Trade issued a decree No. 527/MPP/Kep/9/2004 which is amended

by MOT Regulation No. 19/M-DAG/PER/5/2008 states that white “Indospec” sugar may be imported if

domestic white sugar production cannot meet demand. Sugar imports are prohibited one month prior to

the milling season, during the milling season, and two months after the milling season. Registered sugar

importers are required to support sugar prices should mill prices fall below Rp. 8, 500/kg (MOT

Regulation No. 45/2013). Importers support prices through sugarcane purchases in cooperation with a

third party that has secured a permit from the local Association of Sugarcane Farmers. The beginning

and end of the milling seasons is determined by the MOA.

The DG of Foreign Trade in the MOT must approve the volume of sugar, type of sugar, ports of

destination and the valid period of import of sugar imported by IT. In addition, a surveyor appointed by

the MOT must inspect the shipment in the country of origin. The report will be part of import

documentation. The surveyor fees may be borne by the importer. Inspections are not required for

imports of sugar intended for research and technological development, samples, promotion, carried as

personal belongings, and packages of sugar sent via aircraft.

While the DG in the MOT is responsible for approving importers and imports, importers are still

required to submit monthly reports to the DG for Import of the MOT with the copies to the DG for

Chemical Industry, Agro, and Forest Products of the MOI and to the DG for Estate Crop Productions in

the MOA.

The May 29, 2008 amendment (MOT Regulation No. 19/2008) to the former Ministry of Industry and

Trade Decree No. 527/MPP/Kep/9/2004 also states that plantation white sugar (semi-refined, HS Code.

1701.91.00 and 1701.99.90) must have the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar

Analysis (ICUMSA) level ranging from 70 IU to 200 IU.

WHEAT FLOUR Indonesia implemented a wheat flour quota on May 4, 2014 based on MOT regulation No 23/M-

DAG/PER/4/2014. The quota will expire December 4, 2014.

The quota distribution is based on 2011 import levels. They are:

Turkey: 251,450 MT (57%)

Sri Lanka: 136,754 MT (31%)

Ukraine: 22,057 MT (5%)

Other: 30,880 MT (7%)

Any shipments above these volumes will not be permitted. The quota is applicable to products falling

under HS Codes:

1101001010 (fortified flour, Indonesian national standard (SNI),

1101001090 (other wheat flour, intended as a feed ingredient).

MOT specifies that importers wishing to import products falling under HS code 1101001010 must hold

a general importer identification number (API-U) or producer importer identification number (API-P).

Imports falling under 1101001090 are limited to API-P holders. Importers are required to import 100

percent of their allocated quota.

MOT also specified that wheat flour may only enter through 7 designated seaports: Belawan (Medan),

Boom Baru (Palembang), Panjang (Lampung), Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Emas (Semarang),

Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), Soekarno-Hatta (Makassar). Finally, all wheat flour shipments will be

subject to pre-shipment verification in the country of origin. This will include product specification,

volume, shipment time, destination port and certificate of country of origin. Unlike other commodities,

Indonesia has not specified an inspection company.

IX. IMPORT PROCEDURES

As mentioned in the above sections, each commodity needs certain licenses and permits to enter

Indonesian territory. Requirements are found in the Ministry of Trade website, named INATRADE.

Importer must register with MOT in order to gain access to the INATRADE system.
